“Let's not go crazy,” Ancelotti gives perfect excuse after defeat to Barça

Carlo Ancelotti did not want to draw any conclusions after the second consecutive defeat of the American tour against Barcelona at the Met Life in New Jersey. According to the Italian coach, the poor performance of his team can be explained by a single reason.

“We are continuing in the same line of preparation, giving minutes to everyone. We must not go crazy, we are missing eight players, the result or the tactics are not important. What is crucial is to give minutes to everyone so that they find their rhythm and their form. We are not focusing on tactics at the moment; our goal is to make sure that those who have returned are in good physical condition. We will start working on tactics from August 7,” Carletto said in the mixed zone, according to World Sportsin reference to the return of internationals absent from the tour.

” Vinicius has returned in good shape, you can see that he worked during his holidays. Courtois and Militao are also in good condition, and Rodrygo did not play because he was a little tired. We hope he can play 45 minutes against Chelsea” added Ancelotti, satisfied with the young players.

” The youngsters are having fun, which helps us get to know them better. It's not easy to play in the first team, but they show quality and personality. Mario Martín could join the first team; we'll see how the market evolves, but we can count on him” he concluded.

This is Real Madrid's second defeat in this pre-season, after the one against Milan. For their next and final outing, Carlo Ancelotti's players will face Chelsea.
